Three inmates at a Missouri county jail were on the run on Tuesday after cutting holes in the plaster ceiling of their cells last week and crawling to a maintenance door that led outside, officials said.
The men—Lance Stephens, 29, Matthew Crawford, 29, and Christopher Blevins, 37—escaped from the Barry County jail in Cassville, about 275 miles southwest of St. Louis, early on Friday morning. Officials offered no information on how long the inmates had been gone before guards noticed they were missing.
